Next, add 2 teaspoons of chives, either dry or fresh, and 1 heaping teaspoon of parsley.

Add 1 teaspoon of dill, 3 teaspoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper.

Add 1 teaspoon of tarragon and 1 teaspoon of mustard, followed by 1 teaspoon of salt.

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.

Taste the dressing and adjust the salt if necessary.

Pour the ranch dressing into a jar and refrigerate for about a day to let the flavors meld.
